We Are More Than Conquerors Through Him Who Loved Us – Daily Inspiration, August 13, 2012

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it was written: ‘For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Romans 8: 35-37

Believers have always faced hardships in one form or another: persecution, imprisonment, even death. Our hardships today may not be as severe as those in the early church, but they are enough to weigh heavily on us, nonetheless. We may be facing illness, family troubles, job loss. Take comfort in knowing God is here for us. Knowing His guiding hand is always there to comfort us gives us the strength to soldier on through trying times. If you feel weak in spirit this morning, do not fear, for God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” Hebrews 13:5. What more assurance do we need?
